In this unit, students think ahead. They consider what their new teacher does not know about them yet, gather evidence of what they can do now, and notice strategies that adapt to new situations.
As students work toward the culminating performance task, they organize a routine and build a New Teacher Profile that tells their new second-grade teacher who they are. Students write questions for their new teacher, revise their profile with feedback, and share their finished work.
